How to update your drivers with DriverCure
DriverCure makes updating your drivers quick and easy.
In fact, it only takes a few mouse clicks to update all your drivers.
Here’s how you do it…
Step 1 — Create a system restore point
I recommend you create a system restore point before installing new drivers.
And the good news is, DriverCure includes the option to automatically create system resource points before installing updates.
So, start DriverCure and click Settings at the top right of the main screen.
Check the Set a system restore point before installing items option.
Click OK.
Step 2 — Scan your computer for driver updates
Click Start Scan.
The scan should take less than a minute.
Step 3 — Choose the drivers to update
The scan results screen will list all the available driver updates.
No updates are selected by default, so check the ones you want to update.
Although you can install as many drivers as you want, I’m just going to install one: a new keyboard driver.
Step 4 — Download your driver
Click Fix Now.
DriverCure will now download your new driver.
Some driver files are huge because they include the software to configure the hardware device.
Depending on the speed of your Internet connection it may take a minute or more to download your new driver.
Step 5 — Confirm you want to install your new driver
Once your driver has downloaded you’ll get a “Are you sure that you would like to install” message similar to the following:
Click Yes.
DriverCure will now extract the driver files and launch its installer…
…except some drivers will be in the ZIP or RAR file format, which means DriverCure won’t be able to automatically launch the installer.
So you’ll have to unzip them before you install them. Check out How to install zipped drivers if you’re not sure how to do it.
Step 6 — Follow the installation instructions
Now follow the instructions to install your driver.
Every installer is different, but it’s usually as simple as clicking “OK” a few times.
Step 7 — Restart your computer
After the installation process completes you’ll probably be prompted to restart your computer.
You can restart it now, or you can update more drivers. However, the new driver won’t work until you do restart it.
And that’s it. Done.
